I'm hoping to find the best bang for the buck components whether it's used or new. I'm located in the u.s. and will look for deals on eBay. I found a case on FB marketplace for $25 already and have a cheap power supply that claims it's 700w. I'm just not sure what GPU/CPU would be, I figure it should be a ddr4 system to keep costs down. I would be open to a pre built office pc and slapping a GPU into that as well. This would be for "lan" type game nights just to have something that can play pc games as an option.

Edit: I won an eBay auction for an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus for $60.

If you can find a good deal, the 1080ti the other guy mentioned would do you good. If not, the 1660ti (or 5600xt if you prefer AMD) go for not much more than the 580

Looks like a 1080ti is $150 so I'll grab one
